The world is full of moral relativism.
The majority of Americans believe all religions will lead you to God. This makes no sense. Think of it:
Eastern Religions believe in an impersonal diety, all gods are okay and there is no afterlife.
Hinduism believes in an impersonal diety, and reincarnation.
Islam beieves in an impersonal diety and eternity has to be earned.
Judaism is the first one to believe in One God (the God), a personal God, but they are taught eternal life is earned.
Christianity believes in a personal diety; believes in One God and that eternal life is a gift.
If God spoke all these different ways to people He would be totally unstable and mentally ill and really darn scary. It would make no sense. He would be denying Himself. Moral relativism can't be true.
Absolute Truths:
1. Grace!
"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:17
2. Only Way to the Father is through Jesus!
"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
3. The only Faith that Its Leader has fulfilled prophecies.
There were 300 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus. The odds of only 10 of these prophecies accidentaly being fulfilled is 10 billion times a billion. It is a mathematical impossibility that 300 prophesies could be fulfilled in one man accidentally. The only possibility is that Jesus is who He says He is; who the Bible says He is.
Dig deeper. Look for yourself. The more we look at the Bible the more truth we discover.
Truth to Believe:
1. The Bible is the Word of God.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
2. We are all sinners, saved by grace.
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," Romans 3:23
3. God created us in His image.
"So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27
Metal has a memory. It will try to go back to its original shape when you work with it. People want to go back to their original shape too.
4. God loves us this much!
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
5. Salvation comes through Christ.
"He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God." John 1:11-13
The more you listen the more you will hear God.

God's always knocking on the door.
